Well I might not be the handiest of handymen (my leaking faucet in the laundry room would attest to that) but I'm no slouch with a rotary tool. With the Christmas weekend approaching I got today off so I decided to head to the basement, listen to some Christmas tunes and tinker around with power tools! I took a 12" square piece of lexan and cut out a section about 1/4" by 2 1/2 inches and started to work. First I Stenciled my stock trigger onto the lexan, then I adjusted the lines slightly to give a little hook at the bottom. From there I foolishly trimmed down the block with a hacksaw and files. Once I smartened up I put a grinding drum attachment on my rotary tool, fired her up to 3500 RPM and easily made the shape you see. From there I tapped three holes for the pre-travel, activation and over-travel adjustments, modified some screws with a hacksaw to make them set screws then smoothed the whole thing out with the rotary tool. All told it took me about 2.5 hours of work, if I had all my tools within arm's reach I could probably do it again in about 40 minutes. I might do another and put it on EBay and see what kind of reaction it gets.
Now if I only ever played fricken paintball!
